So. Stuns on Ifrit (Hard).

[Raymeo]

PLD here. I was doing Ifrit (Hard) a couple of days ago. In my first group, I main tanked, and the group somehow didn't have the DPS to down the nails, causing everyone to give up after a few wipes. Second group I got was JP and I fell into the role of auto-attacking while focusing on stuns. (Shield bash is on the GCD.)

It's only my second time in the place, so I just started stunning everything I saw. Two wipes in, a lancer used auto-translate, asking me to only shield bash eruptions and ignore plumes. I didn't understand why, but I didn't try asking because I didn't know how they could answer that with auto-translator. So I just did my best to do as I was asked, but after a couple more wipes I was too quick on the draw once, and I stunned a radiant plume on accident. The lancer got pissed about it and quit, forcing everyone to go back to the duty finder for a new group.

I got through it with my third group, while main tanking AND stunning eruptions, but I can't help but wonder still... why is it bad to interrupt plumes?
